POET AGAINST PREJUDICE is screened as a part of the WNET Youth Collective Summit 2019 at the Paley Center for Media. In this short film, Faiza Almontaser (age 17) shares her trying experience of immigrating to New York from a small farming town in Yemen. With the help of the award-winning filmmaker Albert Maysles, Faiza armors herself with words and language to challenge misconceptions about Islamic culture and bring attention to social integration in a post 9/11 world.
